The Mall of Amazingness is a fun and short animation video followed by a question and the solution.

The animation is lively and engaging and will encourage critical thinking and problem solving in students. It depicts a scenario in which Sammy’s Uncle gave Sammy a gift certificate for $50.00 to spend in a mall.
Sammy’s challenge is to determine which combination of choices would help him spend every penny.

Teachers have used this in class and found it very creative and useful in engaging students.
